摘要：Normal observation of Mutation testing is it costsmore in case of test design and execution. Number of mutationoperators like condition operator, arithmetic operator etc.Every mutation operator generates equivalent mutants, andcost to design test cases and execution of test cases are more incase of equivalent mutant. This paper aims at to reduceequivalent mutants and test cases related to them. In mutationtesting, mutant generation is one of the tasks before mutantexecution for killed and live mutant. In this paper, authorshave proposed an algorithm to test equivalent mutant andreduce the work of test design for identified equivalent mutant.The goal of the paper is to improvise the effectiveness ofmutation testing by applying quality test suite and analysingmutation score. Sample java program and muJava mutationsystem [6] is used to analyse mutation operator and mutationscore.
